Kenwood TH-D7G programming software
Open WebCHIRPWebCHIRP programs the Kenwood TH-D7G in your browser. It runs the CHIRP project's own driver for this radio, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does — without installing anything.
No driver install needed
Kenwood programming cables use a CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI USB-serial chip. WebCHIRP speaks to all four directly from the browser, so there is no driver package to download and no Windows version to match. Plug the cable in and pick the port when the browser asks.

Can I update the firmware on the TH-D7G?
The TH-D7G has no firmware update: its firmware is written at the factory and is not replaceable in the field.
WebCHIRP does not flash firmware. It reads and writes the channel list and settings over the programming cable, which is a separate part of the radio.
